At least the second one is wearing her hat.
Whats up with these prudish pics, those skirts are waaaay too long and those tops are going to make those poor girls sweat.
I am actually not for trip parking, but I am for the p2p swap board and swap with friends.

I'm all for better scheduling options...but why can't I grab a trip from a bro out of base that I'm qualified for? Get that fixed and I'll be all for parking.....it also sounds like the guy w/ no friends will get screwed in the parking scenario...Oh well, that not me. J/K.

Baja,
Trip parking reduces the number of pilots required in a category. It stunts movement. It encourages MDs.
As to out of base swaps, here is the ramification. I am ATL 88 B on reserve bidding in near 80'%. If I bid off to ATL 73N B I'll be in the bottom 3%. If I bid NYC 73N B, I can hold a line. So if I do that I can put all my trips up for pickup and drop as many as possible then go and pick up trips in ATL and therein have an ATL line jumping ahead of pilots nearly 800-900 numbers ahead of me who cannot hold a line.
That would circumvent seniority and lots and lots of people would do such a thing. I know people who commute from ATL to fly out of NYC, now they could have trips out of ATL overnight.
And if you couple trip parking with that, the NYC guys would have more incentive to pick up trips from the ATL commuters.
It'd be a mess and detrimental imho.

Well I'm junior and I have a lot of friends. So I guess i should be all for trip parking... (if i could ever hold a line and use the swap board)... in that case I should be against trip parking so I have some upward mobility. I don't know how to vote!
